people ask for only $4,000 for. the
insane aylum at that place, and they are
looking to-day with considerable disfavor
upon request for so much money,
especially as the request comes from the
North. and the South is in power in both
houses. There is liable to arise q four
prcnged fight over the bill, and there is a
prospect of considerable combining and
friendly rib tickling over the matter. The
committee that examined the asylum at
jamestown last week claims that the estab-

amended, will pass, as Aberdeen is a
hourishing town of about 5000 people. and
could give the Institution goOd-Sized
enrolment of pupils to start off with. Ord
way is more centrally located, but it is
young and small place and there is sus-
picion that it wants the institution espe-
cally to enhance the value OF real estate.
The following bills were introduced in
the house: Terrell manner of giving no.
